In a press release sent to VG247 today, Crytek confirmed that Hunt is coming to PC and consoles for free, and will show face at E3 2014 in Los Angeles next week. It’s a third-person action game that sees up to four co-op players fending off waves of nightmarish creatures in the 1800s using a range of weapons, along with procedurally-generated enemy waves and bosses.
